Pressure Management

Reducing leakage by lowering pressures is the simplest and most immediate way of reducing water loss and demand in the network.

Installing a PRV can make substantial reductions in waste and in the majority of cases is self-financing with the offset of treated water delivery costs. In addition to the reduced leakage losses savings may also be realised from reduced pumping frequencies, lower consumptions and fewer burst water mains.

Hydrosave is able to offer a comprehensive program of assessment, design, installation and maintenance.

An assessment of suitability can be carried out after the completion of both flow and pressure surveys. The surveys will then define the potential for pressure management and identify the associated water reductions with financial benefits.

A standard design process can be implemented and installation is carried out by our specialist group company Pipeline Services.

Additional outlet control may also be necessary to optimise hydraulic performance which is provided through a range of proportional flow modulation and/or timer control.

Pressure management strategies are adopted holistically working alongside DG2 low pressure investigations and optimum pumping operations.
